It's the difference between the police being able to convict you with a picture vs having to get an expert witness to to study the video and then testify that the car is in 4th gear at 7000rpms and therefore speeding.

You absolutely can be as precise on the brakes. Its just much much more difficult to do so while heel and toeing. Do whatever makes you happiest. There is nothing wrong with going to the track with the singular purpose of being as fast as possible. But its not why I race at the track. My singular purpose is to have as much fun as possible. So yeah, i'm out there double clutching my damn heel and toe downshifts. Is it as fast? nope. Does it feel amazing when i downshift into the next gear with no mechanical resistance through the shifter and no discernible drivetrain shock when i let the clutch out? Yes it does. Do i nail my downshifts 100 percent of the time? Nope. There's frequently a tiny bit of drivetrain wiggle when i let out the clutch. Maybe its easy for you, maybe you're a better driver. I'm totally okay with that. I'm just saying for me, its not "easy" to be perfect every time and until it is, i'm gonna keep chasing that dragon. Because again, the entire point of spending all this money on cars is to have fun. And fun to me is nailing that man-machine connection, not seeing a marginally smaller number next to my lap time at the end of the day. But I'm not competitive like some people. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the destination more than the journey. Do what brings you the most joy, as much as it might sound like i'm dismissing your post i'm not, you're out there driving fast and living your best life. Enjoy it, just understand that others enjoy the same thing as you in a totally different way. |

I chose the DCT over the BMW stick because it mates better with a Turbo engine.

It's not a matter of performance, with an high-torque turbo engine the manual doesn't work well because of a lag in gear shifting and the inertia of heavy flywheel, this is not a NA high-rev engine That said, enjoy your beast, this is a great car with any transmission you have chosen |

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention this but I find it interesting that he notes the car feels like it has 50/60 hp too much???
Doesn't that put it around the original one? I don't understand people sometimes. |

I've owned several Hondas and as with the Miata it's easy to make a smooth manual transmission for a low torque engine as has been the case for Hondas forever up until the Civic Type R. Even at that Honda manuals while smooth have always had grinding issues and weak syncros. I bought a Civic Type R and backed out when it was delivered and bought the M2 instead as 2nd gear wasn't smooth on my test drive and after going through major MT82 issues with my Mustang I simply won't buy manual transmission cars that have problematic transmissions as it totally ruins the experience of owning the car. The M2 manual transmission while a bit rubbery gets the job done fine and is pretty reliable.
